Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Wuchak RELEASED TO TV IN 2010 and directed by Colin Ferguson, "Triassic Attack" takes place at an Oregon university town where the skeletal remains of a tyrannosaurus, a pteranodon & a velociraptor come to life due to the mojo of a Native American (Raoul Max Trujillo) frustrated about the University taking over Native lands. CAST: Steven Brand plays the sheriff, Kirsty Mitchell his ex-wife, Emilia Clarke their daughter, Gabriel Womack a helpful electrician who stinks and Christopher Villiers the venal president of the college. This is basically a TV-budgeted "Jurassic Park" with better characters (generally speaking), Native mojo and taking place on the mainland rather than a tropical island. Of course, it lacks the great Tyrannosaurus and velociraptors-in-the-kitchen sequences, but it's pretty entertaining for what it is. The movie starts out thoroughly serious, but eventually adds a little humor. The opening act features a great tantrum scene involving Raoul's character, Dakota. Speaking of Dakota, the story angle of his traditional beliefs/practices NOT saving someone in the past and how it ill-affects his relationship with someone else is insightful. It's interesting to see Emilia before she shot to fame with Game of Thrones and "Terminator: Genisys" (2015), not that I'm a fan, which isn't to say I DON'T like her. She's a'right. THE FILM RUNS about 87 minutes and was shot in Bulgaria. WRITERS: Russ Friedman & Tripp Reed.GRADE: B/B- (6.5/10)

jlthornb51 Actor Colin Ferguson proves he is a gifted director with this exciting science fiction adventure and what he accomplishes with a limited budget is extraordinary. The original and sharp script from screen writers Russ Friedman and Tripp Reid gives a brief nod to giant reptile movies of the past and proceeds to turn them all on their heads with wit and insight. When a Native American roadside attraction operator inadvertently awakens huge dinosaurs, they wreak havoc upon a small town and university in horrific fashion. Especially clever is Ferguson's choice to select an actor who looks like himself to play the sheriff and have him drive a Jeep much like the character Ferguson plays on the imaginative SyFy show Eureka. That actor is excellent and the entire cast brings a depth and humanity to their characters that's unusual in this kind of science fiction film. Superb special effects bring the ghostly dinosaurs to live remarkably and they prove to be quite frightening indeed. Certainly a superior entry in the Rampaging Dinosaur genre and a truly fantastic thrill ride.

Neil Welch We have some unwanted property development impending near where we live. Sadly, we don't have any native American medicine men who can summon up - wait for it - magic dinosaur skeletons. Yes, that's what we have in this entry in SyFy's increasingly rubbish made for TV critter movies (increasingly? No, they've been rubbish all the time). The only reason to see a trite, hackneyed, predictable piece of tosh like this is the critters, and they are so lame that it negates the point of seeing the film in the first place. I have trouble seeing how a pterodactyl comprising only bones can fly. Ah, magic. Yes, of course.When I said "lame", I may have omitted to say that the dinosaur skeletons don't convince visually, particularly as they are startlingly badly composited into the background plates.Another SyFy channel winnah!

Paul Andrews Triassic Attack is set in Mill City in the US where a large university have brought half the land & intends to demolish half the houses & shop's & expand the current university. A local Native American named Dakota (Raoul Trujillo) is opposed to the plans which will destroy his ancestor's heritage, he also feels his people were tricked into signing away their land & is doing all he can to stop the bulldozer's moving in. Dakota's uncle happens to be Jake Roundtree (Steven Brand) the town Sheriff who has to abide by the law, frustrated & angry Dakota decides to use ancient magic to save the town & performs a rite in which evil spirits possess three Dinosaur skeleton's bringing them to life, the rampaging skeleton's attack & kill anyone they meet & it's up to the Sheriff & his archaeologist wife Emma (Kirsty Mitchell) to figure out a way to stop them, meanwhile Dakota feels guilty & also sets out to stop them...Directed by Colin Ferguson this is yet another of the endless line of crappy films made by the SyFy Channel, how do these keep getting made? They never get good reviews & no-one seems to like them but for some reason the SyFy Channel continues to churn them out, someone must watch them? People like me I suppose who watch in the hope their next film might be good & since they air on television for free decide it's worth the effort because we haven't spent any money renting or buying the thing, I am still waiting for that good SyFy Channel film & believe me I have seen plenty of them. First a fact, none of the Dinosaur's featured in Triassic Attack actually lived during the triassic period, go ahead & look it up I think you will find that I am right. What the hell happened to the 'Science' in 'Science Fiction'? I guess the makers just thought Triassic Attack sounded better then Cretaceous Attack. Lets not kid ourselves though, nothing in Triassic Attack makes any sense & the whole film feels random & cobbled together, the script tries to be deep & have a parent daughter conflict angle while it also tries to say that while we have to look to the future we can embrace & remember the past but these attempts at serious drama are just laughable & are there to pad the running out between the Dinosaur attacks. The living Dinosaur skeleton's also pose many questions like how can they make roaring noises? How can they see? How can that one fly without & wings? Then at the end the two join together & we get a flying T-Rex as the film just gets even sillier. All attempts at humour, scares, suspense, tension & human drama fall flat & the whole 86 minutes is a chore to sit through.The special effects as you might suspect are poor, from the electricity bolts at the end to the Dinosaur skeleton's themselves, they just look absurd & the whole concept behind is daft. There's not even any decent gore either, there's a couple of dead bodies & a arm in a tree but nothing else worth mentioning. It's even odd that the hate figures of the film survive, I mean the university dean who is shown as a money grabbing white guy doesn't get so much as a scratch on him & Dakota the guy responsible for bring the Dinosaur skeleton's to life & is therefore indirectly responsible for at least a dozen death's is seen as the hero & saviour at the end!Although set entirely in the US this was apparently filmed in Bulgaria, the production values are cheap & it looks like the television film it is. The acting isn't great, the cast look nice enough but unremarkable.Triassic Attack is yet another instantly forgettable made for television SyFy Channel creature feature that is just as boring, badly written, incompetently made & silly as most of their other's. Don't bother wasting your time.
